What happened: The Federal Cabinet of Pakistan has approved the notion of a 15% increase in federal government employee salaries and a 5% increase in pension payments, as netizens question why won’t the private employees get the benefit? Details: On the other hand, the Information Minister, Mariyum Aurangzeb, earlier tweeted, “The Prime Minister has rejected the Finance Ministry’s proposal of a 10% increase and has approved an increase in government employees’ salaries of 15% with the consent of the cabinet.” However, this sudden rise in the pay of employees would put a burden on the national treasury, approximately of 71 billion rupees.
